Edward's POV

"Let's go home na." She said and honestly, I felt happy hearing that. I never thought something simple as such would excite me much. Hayy!

"Yes, love." I whispered to her ear. At a second there, I expected her to react nicely, but unfortunately not.

"Yuck ka talaga!" She said, rolled eyes and then pinched my cheek. I can sense that she's amused naman.

"Testing lang." I said then laughed. But honestly though, I really hoped for something else. Sakit.

I opened the car door for her to get in and finally got ready to go. It's really a different feeling whenever she's around. Without her doing anything, I feel inspired and happy already.

We're weird. I know and it sucks sometimes. When we're at school, we pretend to be the best of strangers pero if we're together, I can be all that clingy even if she's masungit. There's just that something missing in us and if I want us, then I should try my best to.

Fine, she knows I love her. Yeah, love not like. That's two different things and I know what I'm talking about. It's just that . . I should know what she's up to.

I know her. She had a lot of guy friends before falling for her and she doesn't make a big deal out of it. In my case, her treatment is different. Usually, she won't care and still retain the friendship. Us now? I don't know. Did I just cross the line? Tsk.

Driving her to school and back home is something new to me. As much as I want to take her straight home, half of me wants​ to get her away. Ever since the day I told her about my feelings, she became aloof. Unintentionally, I believe so. Can we just runaway together?

Yeah. Of course not.

"Oy oy oy! Teka lang!" She shouted as I took a new route instead of that towards our subdivision. I didn't say a thing but I was smiling.

"Hoy saan tayo pupunta?" She asked being all confused. She should be home by now, this specific time and hour.

"Basta." I just said. She'll know naman later where and why I opted to take her away muna. She kept silent and concentrated browsing on her phone. I'm sure she's gonna inform her Kuya.

"No need to tell Kuya Nikko. He knows." I told her. I'm not kidding, he does. It's a pretty little secret we share.

Flashback.

Sunday morning, I visited my little brother at the cemetery. Good thing, I didn't forget to bring flowers. Maymay used to do that whenever sinasamahan niya ako to visit. I didn't bother to ask her to accompany me this time and I don't know why. Although I missed doing this with her, I felt like I should go alone naman.

I sat down on​ the grass and placed the flowers on his gravestone. I was silent for like 10 minutes there just staring at his name. It's really weird not having Maymay around. I have no one to talk to.

Suddenly, I remember what she told me. She said I should just say what I wanna say to him even though he's already dead 'cause she always believed that spirits would hear. Although she said she isn't sure with that, still she tried talking with my brother every single time we visited. But me, I never tried to. I feel stupid doing that, sorry.

But yeah, I did.

"Bro, I told her I love her already." I said, pretending that my brother could hear it out as per Maymay's advice. Finally, I tried. It's a relief pala in a way! It's just like telling stories to an old friend. It's not stupid, I realized.
